Astronomy in Fort Tryon Park August 19, 2009

Every Wednesday and Saturday during 2009 (weather permitting), Northern Manhattan Parks and the Inwood Astronomy Project will offer free star and planet gazing in Fort Tryon and Inwood Hill Parks. Fort Tryon programs will be offered on the third Wednesday of each month. All other programs will occur in Inwood Hill Park. These free, family-friendly events aim to spread the joys of the evening sky, and help you to learn more about the nature of our Solar System and current happenings in Astronomy. Telescopes will be available for your use or bring your own. For more information and weather updates, visit the Inwood Astronomy Project. Astronomy programs are clear-sky dependent.
